⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $5.1M/yr
91.8% probability / year
Routine year with no major containment incidents; normal staff rotation, scheduled maintenance, recurring R&D and monitoring.
no breach scheduled maintenance normal research operations
🚨 Minor Incident $5.6M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
Localized containment incident or SCP-3013-1 atypical behavior requiring emergency repairs, overtime security, and additional amnestics/PR.
localized subsidence or crack propagation SCP-3013-1 violent outburst requiring extended termination urgent engineering repairs and additional amnestics/PR
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $205.1M/yr
0.2% probability / year +$200.0M vs baseline
Major containment failure triggering city-level subsidence/earthquake (SCP-3013-2 escalation) requiring large-scale disaster response and infrastructure repair.
removal of painting / total containment destruction rapid SCP-3013-2 subsidence/earthquake event widespread infrastructure collapse and mass evacuations

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are provided as ranges and several high-impact risks (catastrophic breaches) are hard-to-probabilify; baseline recurring costs and one-time capital are reasonably estimable from provided ranges, but tail risks and exact staffing/contractor arrangements create uncertainty.
